Last January, John Fogerty released a new single and accompanying video, “Weeping In The Promised Land,” which offered up a stark reminder of the devastation and heartbreak Americans faced in 2020, while offering hope for the days to come.
Fogerty said in a statement, “I took a look back at what 2020 has been and tried to get my feelings out about the political climate, Black Lives Matter, Covid and everything else that occurred this year. Friends are dying, we are stuck at home, we are indeed weeping in the promised land.”
Back in November, Fogerty and his kids released the new 12-track album of their quarantine recordings, titled Fogerty’s Factory.
Rounding out the group is Fogerty’s sons and bandmates, Shane on guitar, and Tyler on bass, along with daughter, Chelsea on guitar, brushes, and snare.
The tracklist to Fogerty’s Factory is: “Centerfield,” “Have You Ever Seen The Rain,” “Lean On Me,” “Hot Rod Heart,” “Blue Moon Nights,” “Tombstone Shadow,” “City Of New Orleans,’ “Proud Mary,” “Blueboy,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Fortunate Son,” “and “Don’t You Wish It Was True.”
November 2019 saw the release of Fogerty’s latest live collection — 50 Year Trip: Live At Red Rocks.
